Hangar 9 J-3 Cub 10cc PNP Introduction
With nearly 20,000 produced between 1938 and 1947, plus more than 5,000 still registered and flying today, the J-3 Cub remains one of the most influential and popular aircraft ever produced by Piper. It was originally designed to be a lightweight trainer that also led to clipped wing, Super, and Carbon Cub variants. The Hangar 9® J-3 Cub 10cc is a 1/5th scale replica of the original that offers a classic look and flying experience you can't get with other more modern Cub models. It features the advantages of lightweight, stiff, and strong wood construction that's covered with genuine UltraCote® film. Plus, it's available in an ARF version that allows you to install the glow, gas, or electric power system and electronics you prefer, or in a time and money-saving PNP version that's equipped with four factory-installed servos, a 4S to 6S compatible Spektrum™ Avian™ motor and a Smart ESC.
Hangar 9 J-3 Cub 10cc PNP Overview
The Hangar 9® J-3 Cub 10cc is an 82.5” (2.1m) span giant-scale replica of the aviation icon. It's designed to deliver the original's classic look and flying experience with modern-day features and conveniences, including a 2-piece wing and slots to hold the wing tube in the fuselage during storage and transport. The ARF version arrives mostly factory assembled and allows you to install a .62 4-stroke glow, 11cc 4-stroke gas, and other similar class engines or an equivalent electric power system and the electronics you prefer. The PNP version doesn't require any glue for assembly. It is equipped with four factory-installed digital and metal-geared Spektrum A6380 servos, a 4S to 6S compatible Avian 4260-480Kv outrunner motor, and a 70-amp Smart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of power system-related telemetry data with Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible receivers and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters.
Both versions include scale-like landing gear with standard wheels and Cub hubcaps. You also have the option to install wheel pants or floats using the custom float strut set (all sold separately). The balsa and lite-ply airframe arrives factory-finished with genuine UltraCote® film covering and features a variety of scale details, including clear windows, wing struts, tall bracing wires, and more. And it all combines to deliver a classic Cub experience that's perfect for a wide range of intermediate to experienced pilots!

Skill Level 2 – Some Experience Required
Skill Level 2 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who already have some experience and the skills to assemble, set up and fly similar class models. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly models like the E-flite Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, Turbo Timber SWS 2.0m, Carbon-Z Cessna 150T 2.1m, Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the J-3 Cub 10cc.
Smart Technology
The J-3 Cub is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data, including motor RPM, current draw, battery voltage, and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, iX12 to 20, and others) while you fly.
Plug-N-Play Completion Level
This Plug-N-Play (PNP) version comes out of the box with a factory-installed power system and servos that are ready to connect to the included compatible receiver. Plus, no glue is required for assembly so you can be in the air as easily and in as little time as possible!
Flexible Power
The factory-installed Spektrum Avian brushless outrunner motor is 4S to 6S compatible to offer a wide range of performance – from scale-like flying and basic aerobatics with 4S batteries using the included 15x10E prop, to much more than scale power when using the included 14x7E prop with 6S batteries! Plus, the convenient top-mounted and magnetically secured hatch cover makes it easy to install and remove common and popular 3200–5000mAh batteries.
Wood Airframe
The balsa and lite-ply airframe is lightweight yet stiff and strong. Best of all it arrives mostly factory-assembled and finished in genuine UltraCote film covering. The PNP version also includes durable, factory-installed metal-geared and digital Spektrum A6380 servos. And in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.
Easy Assembly
The PNP version J-3 Cub 10cc arrives with a factory-installed power system and servos, and no glue is required for final assembly so it can be ready to fly within a few hours. The ARF version is mostly factory-assembled and is ready to fly after typical final assembly, power system, and electronics installation.
Scale Features
A large top hatch with windshield, transparent windows, plus seats and a pilot bust add to the scale looks along with wing struts, tail bracing wires, and other details.
Gear Options
Scale-like landing gear with fabric bungee covers and standard wheels with Cub hubcaps are included. You can also install the optional DU-BRO Treaded Lightweight Cub Wheels or the optional wheel pants when flying from paved and other smooth surfaces. Or you can install the optional silver-painted float (sold separately) and custom strut (sold separately) sets to fly at large ponds and lakes.
Wing Options
Optional “clipped” wings (sold separately) with a shorter 68.5” span are available to offer different handling and improved aerobatic capabilities. You also have the option to apply black “starburst” decals (sold separately) to the wings and tails.
